is thinking when exposed to different situations. For instance, he describes a
conversation with a young lady in which she wanted to ‘just be friends' while

Tom’s only reaction was to catch the ball with his right arm. This point is connected to Heck Tate’s testimony in telling the court that the right side of Mayella’s face had been severely bruised.

On the other side of the coin, Atticus shows the court that Mr. Ewell is not ambidextrous but is only right-handed.
A second testimony that supports the opposite of the verdict, wa .....
